IBD
specializes in providing our clients with professional
internet solutions and web design to its clients
and to their particular target audience. In doing
so, it is imperative that both the designers at
IBD and our clients have a clear understanding of
what is expected.

When
beginning a a project, I am almost always asked
"How long will it take to create a website
for my business?"

There
are many factors involved in develop ing a thorough
and informative website. Both sides must be prepared
with information and materials to bring a complete
internet solution to life. Proper planning should
include a budget, design requirements, identification
of the target market, high quality images, complete
and edited content and text, and finally, a deadline,
or certainly a timeline of achievable goals for
the project. Any site started without atleast the
most rudamentary elements of these items will face
almost certain doom.

Take
the time to get it right.

Things
To Consider

Do
you have a domain name? If not, do you have ideas
on one? If so, what are they?

What is your company name? Do you want to use
the entire name on the site, logo, and graphics?

Do you have special features in mind like ECommerce
shopping cart, BLOG, RSS, Forms with emails, EZine,
Newsletter signup, autoresponders, advertising
landing/call-to-action pages, etc.?
